Sheryl Crow is stepping into the conversation being from a small town and calling out Jason Aldean after the country star was accused of promoting violence with the song “Try That in a Small Town.”
“Jason Aldean, I’m from a small town. Even people in small towns are sick of violence,” Crow tweeted mentioning his colleague. “There’s nothing small-town or American about promoting violence. You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting.”
Crow continued, “This is not American or small town-like. It’s just lame.”

Jason Aldean Stops Connecticut Show After Suffering Heat Stroke Crow quoted a tweet that mentioned Aldean was in a mass shooting back in 2017 when he was performing in Las Vegas. The shooter killed 60 people and injured over 400 concertgoers.
Aldean’s music video for “Try That in a Small Town” has been removed from the CMT programming after backlash. In the video, the singer is seen performing in front of an infamous courthouse known for lynchings.
Lyrics for the song say “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, stomp on the flag and light it up, yeah, ya think you’re tough, well, try that in a small town, see how far ya make it down the road.” In another part of the song, Aldean sings, “got a gun that my granddad gave me, they say one day they’re gonna round up, well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck.”
Aldean has denied that his song incites pro-lynching and says that “not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far.”
In his statement on Twitter, Aldean said the song “refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences.”

Commies will always defend the 6 months of burning cities to the ground since it was committed by their fellow leftists..but grannies taking selfies at the capitol, shoot them or put them in solitary. Notice the commies like Crow who run her trap live in gated communities and have armed guards protecting them
Sez “rich gurl” from behind her personal security screen of Really Big Armed Muscle.
They’re flaming hypocrites.
More importantly, what did Stealers Wheel have to say about it?
“Media.. it’s the same song and dance. Twist everything you can to fit your repulsive narrative.”
Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany is defending her country star husband amid the backlash to “Try That in a Small Town,” after many listeners have denounced the song and music video as “racist dogwhistling” and glorification of gun-based vigilante justice.
In an Instagram Stories slide, Brittany puts the blame on the “media” for misconstruing the message behind the song.
“Media...it’s the same song and dance. Twist everything you can to fit your repulsive [narrative],” she writes, against a backdrop of a cloudy sky and a palm tree blowing in the wind.
“How about instead of creating stories, we focus on the REAL ones such as CHILD TRAFFICKING? Food for thought,” Brittany continues.

The author’s security team dealt with a stalker of singer Sheryl Crow while she prepared to perform at a benefit concert in New York City in 2003. Crow’s security team alerted protection professionals working for the venue about the stalker and provided information about him. The stalker, a former U.S. Navy diver who said he was just trying to “court” Crow, arrived at the venue and attempted to enter the facility. In this instance, the police were notified about the man and arrested him; however, he was later acquitted by a jury trial.
How nice. Sheryl has a security TEAM, just like most Americans.
Stifle yourself, Sheryl.
She advocates that for peasants, not the important people.
I wonder which rap cop-killing songs Sheryl came out about ?

Waiting for Sheryl to put bands like Cypress Hill and Rage Against the Machine on full blast as well...
Well Sheryl?
I’m just so glad she was brave and voiced her truth.
With social media, I never get to hear the inane bullshit of women.
Finally, a opinionated woman speaks her mind…
Repeal the 19th Amendment.

I remember a couple of years ago when antifa marched on a smallish town intending to raise hell. They were met in the street by the men of the town, turned around and left the town alone.
